In the Bag Forget your high-design recliner. The latest craze in easy lounging will have you laid out like it’s 1969.
1 I ta l i a n f u r n i t u re c o m p a n y Zanotta released the first bean bag chair in the late sixties. Examples of the iconic design, named the Sacco, now reside in the MoMA and Centre Pompidou, among other museums across the world. More than a mere relic of the past, however, bean bags have reemerged as an affordable alternative to designer lounge chairs from names like Eames and Breuer. Shapelessly ergonomic and ceaselessly laid-back, today’s best takes boast interchangeable covers, sustainable fillings and plenty of slothful swag.
